Holden settled into his chair, "Bri, about the soirée this afternoon, you're going with Eltham, right?" "Yes."

"This soirée is hosted by the royal family, and it's going to be a gathering of the who's who. Be careful, okay?" Holden was worried that Brittany might slip up or get cornered by someone. "I know."

Brittany had attended dozens of such dinners, big and small, and was quite adept at navigating them.

Holden left it at that.

After breakfast, Brittany dropped Daniel off at school. Just before he got out of the car, Daniel, clutching his backpack, asked, "Mom, are you going to get engaged to someone else?" What would happen to Dad then?

Was life imitating a soap opera, with the original partner becoming 'the other woman'?

Brittany hadn't expected Daniel to ask about this and softened her voice, "It looks like an engagement might be on the cards."

She paused for a moment, "But the person I love is only your dad."

Daniel immediately seemed much brighter, "Mom, dad will come back."

Brittany laughed softly, watching her son enter the school gates.

After a while, Brittany drove to the Lynette Conglomerate.
